John M. Skorupski; Availability of Environmental Assessment
July 12, 1999.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for minor license
for the existing Hoosick Falls Hydroelectric Project located on the
Hoosic River in Rensselaer County, New York, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed project. In the EA, the
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of
the proposed project and has concluded that approval of the proposed
project, with appropriate mitigative measures, would not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference
Branch of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426, and may also be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for
assistance).
Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC
20426. For further information, contact John Costello at (202) 219-2914
or by E-mail at [email protected].
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
